 Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the given content.   Core Viewpoints of the Report - From October 13 - 17, international oil prices continued to decline, and the monthly spreads of the three markets weakened. The geopolitical premium faded, and the fundamental surplus intensified. The latest IEA monthly report raised the global oil surplus forecast for 2026 again. With a large number of oil tankers heading to major trading and transportation centers, on - land inventory pressure increased significantly in October, which is the point with the largest absolute surplus throughout the year. [7] - Tensions in the Middle East flared up again as the Israeli Defense Forces carried out an air - strike on southern Gaza. Meanwhile, multiple factors influenced Russian oil supply, with India stating it would stop purchasing Russian oil, but the export volume from Russia to India in the first half of October increased by 250,000 barrels per day month - on - month. [7] - Fundamentally, global on - land oil inventories fluctuated this week, and the total waterborne inventory remained flat. OPEC production increased by about 500,000 barrels per day in September, and crude oil net exports soared. Non - OPEC countries like Brazil, the US, Guyana, and Norway also saw a significant increase in crude oil net exports. [7] - This week, oil prices and global refinery profits weakened. The profit of gasoline in the external market was slightly stronger than that of diesel, while in the domestic market, gasoline was significantly weaker than diesel. During the peak maintenance period, downstream profits declined, and the domestic start - up rate was expected to weaken marginally. The demand side provided weak support for oil prices. [7] - The subsequent oil price trend depends on whether Russian crude oil supply declines marginally and the progress of Sino - US trade negotiations before the APEC meeting at the end of October. In the baseline scenario, the surplus in the fourth quarter is over 2 million barrels per day, and it is currently in the trend of waterborne inventory converting to OECD inventory. The expected surplus in 2026 is 1.8 - 2.5 million barrels per day. Attention should be paid to the impact of sanctions on Russia and Iran on their export volumes in the fourth quarter. It is expected that the absolute price center in the fourth quarter will fall to $55 - 60 per barrel, and short - term oil prices will be in a volatile consolidation phase. [7]   Summary by Relevant Catalogs  1. Oil Price Data - From October 17 to 23, WTI increased from $57.54 to $61.79, a rise of $3.29; BRENT rose from $61.29 to $65.99, an increase of $3.40; DUBAI went up from $63.26 to $65.24, a gain of $1.38.

Daily News - German Chancellor Merz is optimistic that the US will exempt the German subsidiary of Russian oil company Rosneft. There are concerns that without the exemption, the German subsidiary may be cut off from major customers. [3] - The US government is preparing a proposal to open almost all US coastal waters for new offshore oil drilling, which has been opposed by local governors. The preliminary draft indicates a significant expansion of areas eligible for oil and gas leasing in the US. [4] - Kuwait's oil minister said that OPEC is ready to increase production in response to rising demand. This statement was made against the backdrop of rising oil prices after the US imposed new sanctions on Russia. [4]  3.

 全世界都在预测“巨大石油过剩”,为何油价就是不崩?

 Core Viewpoint - Despite predictions of an impending oil surplus, global crude oil prices remain resilient, trading around $67 per barrel, contrary to forecasts suggesting a drop to $50 or lower [1][2].   Group 1: Supply and Demand Dynamics - Major institutions, including the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), predict significant oil surpluses, with the IEA forecasting a record surplus of 3.3 million barrels per day by 2026 and the EIA estimating a surplus of 2.1 million barrels per day in the second half of this year [1][2]. - The current market is characterized by a "spot premium," where immediate delivery oil is priced higher than future delivery, indicating market tightness rather than an imminent surplus [2].   Group 2: China's Role in the Oil Market - China is viewed as a stabilizing force in the oil market, actively purchasing crude oil, which traders interpret as a sign of increasing consumption rather than oversupply [2]. - The IEA projects that global oil consumption will rise by only 700,000 barrels per day next year, marking the slowest growth since 2009, excluding the pandemic period [2].   Group 3: OPEC+ Production and Market Reactions - OPEC+ has increased production quotas by 2.5 million barrels per day since April, but actual production increases are expected to be lower due to several member countries reaching maximum capacity [3]. - Analysts suggest that if OPEC+ fails to meet production targets, the anticipated surplus may be smaller than predicted, potentially limiting downward pressure on oil prices [3].   Group 4: Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - Some analysts believe that the anticipated surplus may not significantly impact oil prices, as long as demand from China continues and OPEC+ maintains limited spare capacity [3][4]. - There is a sentiment that when too many traders align on a bearish outlook, it often does not materialize, indicating that unexpected factors could influence market dynamics [4].

 Core Viewpoint - International oil prices experienced a significant drop, with Brent crude oil falling nearly 2% and WTI crude oil dropping over 2% during trading on September 3rd [2][4].   Group 1: OPEC+ Production Discussions - OPEC+ is set to discuss further increasing oil production at an upcoming meeting, with eight member countries participating. This move aims to regain market share, potentially leading to a cancellation of the second phase of production cuts, which currently stands at approximately 1.65 million barrels per day, accounting for 1.6% of global oil demand [6]. - Previously, OPEC+ had agreed to raise production targets by about 2.2 million barrels per day from April to September, with an additional quota increase of 300,000 barrels per day for the UAE. However, actual production increases have not met these commitments due to some countries needing to compensate for previous overproduction and others facing capacity constraints [7].   Group 2: Oil Demand Forecasts - OPEC's monthly oil market report from August 12 indicated an upward revision in the global oil demand growth forecast for 2026, projecting an increase of approximately 1.38 million barrels per day, reaching 106.5 million barrels per day. The 2025 forecast remains unchanged, with an expected increase of 1.29 million barrels per day, totaling 105.1 million barrels per day [8].   Group 3: Price Predictions - Goldman Sachs predicts that due to an anticipated oil surplus in 2026, Brent crude oil futures prices could drop to the low $50 range by the end of 2026. The firm expects a daily supply surplus of 1.8 million barrels from Q4 2025 to Q4 2026, leading to an increase in global inventories by nearly 800 million barrels, with one-third of this inventory stored in OECD member countries [8][9]. - The forecast suggests that while oil prices may remain stable near current forward contract levels in 2025, this balance is expected to break in 2026, with Brent's "fair value" projected to decrease from the current $70 range to the $50 range, particularly as inventories continue to accumulate [9].
